COLUMBUS — Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller had minor outpatient surgery on his right shoulder Friday.

A release from the school said the surgery on his throwing shoulder took place at the Ohio State University Medical Center.

Miller, the Big Tenís offensive player of the year, will be limited in his activities during spring drills.

The Buckeyes begin practices March 4 and play their annual spring intrasquad scrimmage April 12 at Ohio Stadium.

Despite missing almost three complete games with a sprained knee, Miller ran for 1,068 yards and 12 touchdowns and threw for 2,094 yards and 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 2013 as the Buckeyes went 12-2.
